A drone attack on Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia power plant heightens the risk of a "major nuclear accident," warns the UN's atomic watchdog. Russia accuses Ukraine of the strike, injuring three, while Ukraine denies involvement. The Russian-held plant, with six reactors, is a focal point in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The IAEA condemns the attack as "reckless" and warns of escalating nuclear safety risks. Despite assurances of normal radiation levels, concerns persist over potential damage to reactor containment. Both sides blame each other for endangering the plant, highlighting ongoing tensions amid explosions reported at the facility.
